Strawberry Lime Slush

This is a great summer drink to make for any get together! So yummy!

1 can frozen limeade
2 cups sugar
8 cups water
2 10oz pkgs frozen strawberries

Combine limeade, sugar, and water together in a large bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Put strawberries and 1-2 cups of limeade mixture into blender and blend until smooth. Add the blended strawberries to the limemade mixture and stir until combined and smooth. Put in the freezer. I froze it over night and then took it out to defrost for about 2-3 hours before the party. Then I just scooped it into the punch bowl with an ice cream scoop and served over Sprite.

Chicken Salad with Poppyseed Dressing

If you have any non-Mayo people in your home like I do, you may want to try this recipe out. I made this up for a friend's baby shower this weekend and it turned out really yummy. There are no amounts since I just threw in what I needed and tweaked it to the consistency I wanted.

Cooked chicken, shredded (I actually used grilled)
Red grapes, halved
Almonds, lightly toasted
Celery, minced
Poppyseed dressing

Mix all together and enoy!
